  • MJ Melendez singles in Royals’ loss to Twins
    MJ Melendez went 1-for-3 with a single on Monday in the Royals’ loss to the Twins.

    Advice: It’s been a struggle this season at the dish for Melendez as he’s batting just .179 (27-for-151) with four homers and two steals through 47 games. Perhaps the biggest concern here is that he hasn’t connected for a home run since back on April 19. Rotoworld Monday, 1:41 pm
     
  • Pops 11th homer Sunday
    Langeliers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a loss to the Astros on Sunday.

    Advice: Langeliers got to closer Josh Hader in the ninth, slugging a 411-foot shot to center for the Athletics' second and final run of the day. The blast was Langeliers' 11th of the season, and with 20 of his 34 hits now having gone for extra bases, the backstop boasts a .491 slugging percentage that helps make up for his paltry .214 average and .281 on-base percentage.

  • Not starting again
    Melendez is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Tampa Bay.

    Advice: The 25-year-old outfielder will begin the game in the dugout for the second straight contest as southpaw Tyler Alexander is expected to follow opener Shawn Armstrong for the Rays.

Nelson Velazquez will move to left field in place of Melendez and bat seventh. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:40 am

  • Notches first steal Tuesday
    Langeliers went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in a win over the Rockies on Tuesday.

    Advice: The slugging backstop got it done a bit differently Tuesday, with Langeliers showing some solid plate discipline while recording his second multi-walk effort of the season, both which have come within the last week. Langeliers' steal was also his first of the campaign, and with the pair of free passes, he's now reached safely in six consecutive games. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:56 am
